[chef] couchdb crashes, chef-server does not survive couchdb restart

[< >]

Hi all

 

I have experienced multi crashes of couchdb on my chef-server.  I dont know why, there is no log, no trace no indication from couchdb.

My database is around 30 GB and the server is redhat 5.5 having 3 GB physical memory.

 

I heard that erlang sometime kill processes dueto lack of resource or other contention, and restart them automatically. But in my case

the couchdb process (mochiweb I think) that faciliates database access via http simply dies and I have restart couchdb entirely.

 

But the problem from Chef side is that Chef server can not re-connect to couchdb again and I have to restart chef-server-api then chef-server-webui

 

 

Anyone is facing similar problem?
